That's what ex-Indianapolis Colts star receiver Marvin Harrison told the Indianapolis Star after he rescued a man in Philadelphia on Saturday morning.

Harrison was driving in his pickup truck when Judeau Brown, 38, hurried out of his house after two masked men broke into the rear of his apartment at approximately 3:20 a.m, according to Philly.com.

Harrison allowed Brown onto the bed of his truck and drove off as the two men fired at the vehicle, with one shot puncturing a tire.

But suspicions -- raised by Harrison's connections to past violent episodes in Philadelphia, his home town -- have led people to question the accuracy of Harrison's story of heroism.

"I didn't do anything but drive my car, pick a guy up and call 911," Harrison told the Star. "I just happened to be in the right place at the right time for this person.

"The unfortunate part is things are coming out negative. I had nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing to do with it. I was just driving, minding my own business."

Since retiring from the NFL in 2008, Harrison's name has made its way into crime reports on different occasions, including several recounted by the New York Times:

• In April 2008, Philadelphia resident Dwight Dixon was shot in the hand outside of Playmakers, a North Philadelphia bar owned by Harrison, with a gun belonging to Harrison, according to a police investigation.

• In 2009, Dixon was riddled with gunfire two blocks away from Playmakers. Before he died from his wounds, he told police he thought Harrison was behind the attack. Harrison was not charged with a crime.

• Harrison escaped criminal charges in 2010 after police stopped him for a driving violation and confiscated a 9mm handgun. That history was dredged up by Harrison's recent brush with guns on the streets of Philadelphia.

Brown was not suspicious of any wrong-doing, and was thankful that the ex-NFL star was able to help.

"People are trying to get a [negative] story off his name, but it wasn't really about him," Brown said. "He was just helping me out at the right time."

"I've called him and told him how grateful I am, that he actually stopped and helped me out. He acted when I needed him. In my eyes, he really saved my life."

Harrison said he was stung by the suspicions and thought about not getting involved the next time, then dismissed those feelings.

"The only thing I can tell you is when these negative reports came out on Sunday, the first thing that came to my mind is the next time something like this happens, I'll just put my head down and keep on going," Harrison told the Star. "Then I woke up Monday morning and [thought], I don't care what anybody says. If it happens 10 more times I'm going to do the same thing."
